Did you know the Bible calls for man to be put to death if you "spill seed" not for procreation?

Genesis 38 9-10:

"He spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother. What he did was wicked in the LORD's sight; so he put him to death."

Good luck sleeping soundly boys!

I love the bush run around (pun intended). Context doesn’t really matter does it? God values semen and hates spilling it.

  • Your interpretation of this parable is about as accurate as when the news says "this man was tackled to the ground by 5 police officers for jaywalking" because he was in the middle of the street when it happened, and the news didn't bother giving the key context that he'd robbed a bank and killed 7 people in the process.

    You missed the key information completely.

    The law was that if your brother died, you (Onan in this case) had to take your brother's wife as a 2nd wife, and protect and provide for her just as you do for your first wife, and to give her children, so that her line will continue and she will have children to take care of her in old age. But this also means that, under those old laws, her oldest son would receive an inheritance, to be able to maintain the family, and this might require that your existing eldest son gets less than he would have before.

    Onan intentionally defied the law because he didn't want to split his son's inheritance, and thus did not give his brother's wife (now his 2nd wife) children. THAT was the law that was broken. It has nothing at all to do with masturbation - the problem was Onan's greed and his favoring his own son.

  • The real bottom line is that Onan was put to death not for 'spilling his seed upon the ground' in masturbation. It was because he refused to impregnate his dead brother's widow and raise a child in the name of his dead brother, as prescribed my Mosaic Law.

    So Onan was killed not for masturbating, but for the criminal act of coitus interruptus to prevent the legal obligation to provide an heir to his dead brother.

    Having just read the context of the story and it's outcome, I think the story would make one heck of a porno flick.

  • Philippines believes this , although this goes much further than simply masturbation , we are talking about poor use of the seed , condoms , birth control , and all that goes with it , including vasectomy..

    I'm not religious , but there are parts of this that can be fun :)

  • Looks like you didn't bother reading the whole story. Unsurprisingly.

    • Does the whole story matter? God said spilling seed is horrific and angers him.

    • Agreed @LazerBeam

  • Don't know and don't care.

    Bible is about as useful as a rotary dial phone today.

    • I can use the phone to knock out a proselytizer.

    • You just proved my point.

  • You do know that part of the Bible is speaking of Onan that was having sex with his brothers wife and he would spill the semen on the floor right? Judah (Onan's father) commanded Onan to impregnate his brothers wife for his brother and instead he spilled his semen on the ground and this was after his brother was killed, instead of him carrying the duty as a brother to care for his brothers widowed wife, he used her for sex basically which the lord didn't like

    • You gotta read the before and after not just a verse and make your own assumptions lol

    • I think it’s obvious your god doesn’t like wasting semen.

    • And it's obvious you regret this post 😂

  • For one it doesn’t but all the more reason to get married young and have as much sex as possible the Bible does it say anything about the position or how are you get your rocks off go fuck if your wife wants to dress up as a schoolgirl and gets pregnant what the fuck is wrong with that?

    • I don’t know what you’re referring to. But according this text I forgot out, God seems to value semen and hates. spilling it.”

    • There was an instance of a man who had to marry his brother wife because that was the law back then and he would have sex with her and spill his seed on the ground. The idea behind it form a Jewish perspective is it’s not that spilling his seed was a sin it was the fact he didn’t want to get her pregnant and there for denying her truly into his family

    • I don’t care. God said “spilling seed is bad” and killed the guy.
